Hi Guys -
Just a couple pictures - I took out the TM today while I cleaned up along the field, pulling out old logs etc.
After that I tried out a little feather stick making and then made a little fire just to do it -
I took some pictures - it has been VERY wet here over the past few weeks, so everything was soaked. I found a wrist-sized piece of choke cherry and carved at it until I got to the dry wood, made some curls and then piled some of the wispy high grass over it and then took a shot with a misch-metal stick -
I did get flame, and then put a leaf on it to burn - then put it out.
The TM has a great handle, and with gloves on it is a snap to carve wet or dry wood, at least the choke cherry I had to play with today.
A little soapy water in the sink and it is looking good as new - those fire-stick burns washed right off.
